I'm just accustomed to seeing them in my working drafts. Perhaps it is I
who needs to change, rather than my unnumbered chapters! Something I
haven't explored yet with org-mode is exporting to LaTeX, but it sounds
like these numbers can be made to appear after export. I'm not yet a
LaTeX user, so I may wait to explore that until I get to it.

Best!
